In this week’s episode of The Boss Society Podcast, Megan sits down with West Olympia real estate guide and community connector Heather Foster for an honest, funny, and deeply relatable conversation about what it means to reinvent yourself — again and again — until it finally feels right.
From raising three kids as a military spouse to moving 20+ times and walking away from her career when it no longer aligned, Heather’s story is a powerful reminder that midlife isn’t a decline... it’s a chance to rise. Together, they unpack what it looks like to rediscover your identity after motherhood, shed people-pleasing, build a business on your own terms, and why collaboration and community are essential for sustainable success.
Whether you're in real estate or not, this episode is full of grounded wisdom for any woman navigating a new season, especially if you're craving space to show up as your truest self.
